== Properties ==
*Visual: All properties of the tool are visible.
*Durability: Low
*Bond Rate: High
*Power Precision: Low
*Duration Precision: Low
*Sect Affinity: [[Nomads of the Arid Steppe]]
*Currently the only player made tool, thus allowing them to start at higher qualities then other tools.
*Larger range of possible power/duration modifiers compared to other tools.
*Handles fumbles very differently from other tools - damage is only to one physical quality rather then to all physical qualities, whereas crits remain universal improvement to all physical qualities (Though to a smaller degree then other tools). The net effect is that crits should outweigh fumbles unlike other tools.

== Use ==
Like all prediction tools, before use the mage must know the {{com|ALIGN}} ability (learnable at 4th circle) and have made a successful observation. Furthermore, before the first use, the bones must be {{com|RUB}}bed to bond it to the user. Syntax is to {{com|ALIGN}} <skill/skill set>, and then to {{com|ROLL}} the bones. In order to predict on another the mage must {{com|ROLL}} bones at <target>.

===Example===
''You toss your divination bones on the ground before you.<br>
''The Krr-tich bone stands on end for a moment before falling over.<br>
''It points directly away from you.<br>
''The Sek-rith bone falls flat on the ground.<br>
''It points off to one side.<br>
''The Moon Sphere bounces once.<br>
''It comes to rest and depicts a suit of leather.<br>
''The Sun Disk bone lands white side up.<br>
''You scoop the bones back up.<br>

===Interpretation===
#The direction of the Krr-tich bone indicates the magnitude of the prediction. Pointing closer towards the user indicates a stronger prediction.
#The direction of the Sek-rith bone indicates the duration of the prediction. Pointing closer towards the user indicates a longer prediction.
#The Moon Sphere indicates the skill.
#The color of the Sun Disk indicates the polarity. White is positive, black negative.
#Any additional messages have to do with quality changes, or turned predictions.

So the example given is a very weak, medium duration, positive prediction on the leather armor skill.
